Reliability and validity of a computer game-based tool of upper extremity assessment for object manipulation tasks in children with cerebral palsy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A computer game-based upper extremity (CUE) assessment tool is developed to quantify manual dexterity of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). The purpose of this study was to determine test-retest reliability of the CUE performance measures (success rate, movement onset time, movement error, and movement variation) and convergent validity with the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale version 2 (PDMS-2) and the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST).

Methods

Thirty-five children with CP aged four to ten years were tested on two occasions two weeks apart.

Results

CUE performance measures of five chosen object manipulation tasks exhibited high to moderate intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) values. There was no significant difference in the CUE perf
